Event processing networks
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method within an event processing network (EPN) including a plurality of event processing agents (EPAs), comprising:
- adding, to the EPN, a first EPA of a statically-configured type EPA that is not subject to being reconfigured at EPN runtime;
adding, to the EPN, a second EPA of a dynamically-configurable type EPA that is subject to being reconfigured at EPN runtime;
starting EPN runtime;
dynamically configuring, subsequent to starting EPN runtime, the second EPA;
receiving, subsequent to starting EPN runtime, an event data set including information indicative of an event to be processed by the EPN; and
processing the event by;
processing at least a portion of the event data set by the first EPA, andprocessing at least a portion of the event data set by the second EPA.

Abstract
A hybrid event processing network (EPN) having at least one event processing agent (EPA) consists of a first set of EPAs defined declaratively and a second set of EPAs defined dynamically at runtime via an interface. Deploying the hybrid EPN includes loading the hybrid EPN, constructing an EPN structure, and creating indexes of nodes of the EPN structure. Deploying the hybrid EPN further includes representing an event in a hybrid EPN, and, in response to the event occurrence at an event source, receiving a notification from the hybrid EPN based on the event, and publishing the notification in an event channel. Embodiments of the invention includes propagating the event received within the hybrid EPN, determining a subsequent EPA associated with the event within the hybrid EPN, and propagating the event to the subsequent EPA in the hybrid EPN until the last element of the hybrid EPN is reached.
